Shakawe

Another crazy week has gone by so quickly. This week Matt was on duty, this meant that he had to get up early everyday to serve breakfast to the boys, conduct the morning assembly, check how tidy the dorms are, supervise study on tuesday and thursday evenings and serve lunch and dinner. Stressful. The good news is that Matt has now finished his duty, the bad news is that it's my turn next week! While Matt was on duty i had to run a few errands, one of which was to drive with Maguowe to Shakawe to pick up a boat engine mechanic. The school boat suddenly sunk and both the engines we fully submerged in the river. We left after my lesson in the morning and got to Shakawe for around 10.30, i had a lovely steak and onion pastry (a lovely change from maize porridge) from choppies, I think it was worth driving all that way just for the pie. We managed to locate the boat mechanic in a nearby village and organised that he would drive up to the school after he had finished his current job. So Maguowe and I went back to Choppies to get all the things that the staff had requested. I treated myself to another pie. I met one of Maguowe's friends who is called 'Problem', after exchanging numbers he said that he would call me up about any business ventures he comes accross in the future. I asked what type of business he had was and he simply replied 'investing'. So then we started the drive back to the ferry, crossed without a problem and headed back down the dirt road for 50 minutes to the school. A successful trip without a problem with a car (although it did have a puncture the following day - but im convinced that it wasn't me).
